NEW: Scotland's first transgender MSP has issued a statement after receiving abuse and backlash, thanking all who have congratulated them 🗳️

Well worth checking out if you're into Scottish ufology.

Lazy Sunday in bed.

It has been embarrassing to see other parties fighting about who's most eager to give a giant tax break to the fossil fuel giants... the very industry that has brought us to the point of global crisis. It's encouraging to see the public aren't taken in by the industry lobbyists' demands.

I've shared this before, but want to again. When my mom learned her cancer was terminal, she told me: "When a mom dies, a new clearing opens in the forest. Next time you're in the woods, look for it." I keep searching for clearings - in nature and among people. Lush, green, beautiful clearings.

Saving people at sea IS NOT OPTIONAL. When people make crossings in small boat and sink, saving them IS NOT OPTIONAL. When you sink an enemy ship, saving the crew from the sea IS NOT OPTIONAL. But sinking an unarmed ship and letting them drown... Ban the USA from our ports and shores.

Well that was a relaxing few days in the East Neuk of Fife. Although I think the highlight was seeing my first frog of the year (and stopping it from getting run over)

Yes tee shirt. I am.

Saw this Mallard cross breed today. No idea what he's crossed with though. Beautiful plumage though guvnor.

To support Nigel Farage and his far-right agenda is to betray every man and woman who gave their lives during the Second World War fighting the extremism that threatens to topple Europe once more 🫶

Oskar channeling his inner Pug this morning.

Embarrassing a whiney Oskar on Christmas eve.

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

My son has been sending me pictures like this from his grans house where he's spending Christmas. I think he is bored.

Happy 97th birthday to the late, great sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick, born 16 December, 1928! Here he is in 1977, discussing how deja vu might be an indication of a changed variable in our computer simulation - 22 years before the Wachowskis made the phrase 'a glitch in the Matrix' famous.

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

"We have such sights to show you!...We'll tear your soul apart!"

I've been waiting for this scenario for years.

Well done @bsky.app! That lavender line on our sources of traffic is YOU! Bluesky is now tracking traffic to its sites... and guess what? - Bluesky is in pole position as lead referrer for North East Bylines... one of the 10 citizen journalism publications of the @bylinesnetwork.co.uk. 🦋💙

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Pour one out for Kanzi. 💔 gizmodo.com/rip-kanzi-th...

I mean, what kind of "human beings" take from vulnerable people rather than billionaires who can afford it?

I found this today at work. I think I'll keep it in my car for parking emergencies.
